The Dodge Ram and Dakota pickup trucks will be put through their paces on a special track that will include waterfording and hill climbing.

In addition to getting behind the wheel, event attendees can visit the Dodge "Grab Life" trailer to learn more about the full-line of Dodge products as well as visit the SIRIUS Listening Station, play video games, surf the Web for more information about Dodge at the Internet Cafe and peruse the Dodge Goods showcase.

Consumers will also be able to test their knowledge in a Dodge trivia game and play Plinko to win prizes. Event attendees can also leave with a souvenir of their day by posing for a photo in front of a backdrop of NASCAR drivers or the 2009 Dodge Challenger.
